Staying in Denmark after separation/divorce

Indlæg af Natalia » 30.07.2018 19:08:36

Hi,

I would like to write about my situation and ask about some information that could help in my case.
I'm here in Denmark for 2 years, on my Visa (visa type D, spouse visa, my husband is non-EU like me, he is studying here), i'm working as a full timer and have sufficient amount/balance in my account to support myself.
The problem is, we both want to get divorce but is it still possible for "me" to stay here legally after separation/divorce? (he is allowed to stay here legally as student after divorce).
If it's impossible to stay in Denmark, maybe there is a chance to do it in Sweden?

Thanks in advance for any information.

Possibly you can apply for a work permit, but you must do so while your present permit is valid.

There used to be a rule for retaining foreign workers, which applied if the person had worked a minimum of two years for the same employer AND in the same capacity, but it seems to have been amended:
